Emergency response times in the Edmonton area are at the 90th percentile in January 2025 .

EMS response times are 15 minutes down from the peak of 18 minutes in November of 2022 .

Alberta Health Services ( AHS ) has opened an investigation into procurement procedures at the provincial level.

The Health Sciences Association of Alberta president Mike Parker said the memo is yet another “canary in the coal mine”.

While LaGrange has touted the biggest budget spend ever for healthcare, once it accounts for inflation and population growth, the picture changes, Parker said.

“This is a system that is over capacity all day long. There is no ability for the surge. If something big happened, there’s nothing left.”.
